December 31, 1999.
1) Description of all products and services that were developed, in the process
of development or being considered for development by the RIKA Companies during
the period
The RIKA Companies continues to add relay test macros to their
standard Ultra-test software package. They have completed a "vector
program" which allows the user to do quick analysis of the real and
reactive power components during relay testing.
The RIKA Companies have completed development of a software
database that can be used to integrate the multiple
substation/relay maintenance and testing software programs
available on the market.
2) Description of any software or ancillary services provided to PSO by the
RIKA Companies during the period
In 1997, CSW completed the purchase and installation of the
Ultra-test relay testing package for each of its four electric
operating companies, including PSO. The RIKA Companies provide
ongoing maintenance and support of the product.
CSW is in the process of purchasing the software database product.
PSO is evaluating at three locations the substation automation
system for limited implementation on the PSO distribution system.
The RIKA Companies continue to provide a small amount of basic and
advanced relay testing training.
3) Statement of any dividends or interest paid to PSO, both for the period and
cumulatively, as a result of its debt and equity holdings in the RIKA
Companies
RIKA continues to experience relatively slow growth and requires
all available cash in order to provide working capital for
operations. As a result, PSO recorded no interest income in the
second half 1999. None of the provisions of the agreement were
modified nor were any other considerations given as a result of
this decision. PSO's cumulative interest received from the RIKA
Companies is $45,874.
The RIKA Companies paid no dividends to PSO during the reporting
period nor cumulatively.
4) Statement regarding the nature and consequences of any event of default
under the development agreement occurring during the period, including any
resulting change in the voting interest held by PSO in any of the RIKA
Companies and any exercise of control by PSO over the management and
affairs of any of the RIKA Companies
No events of default, change in the voting interest or any exercise
of control occurred during the reporting period.
